Eschborn, June 2026. In its 50th year, the DEHAG Hospitality Group can boast an impressive track record and its highest ever total turnover. At the Annual General Meeting, which took place in Feldkirch, Austria, the company announced total revenue for 2025 of €37.740 million, representing an increase of 6.1 per cent on the previous year – in 2024, total revenue stood at €35.576 million. With a pre-tax profit of €585,931, the upward trend since 2023 continues – albeit slightly below the levels of the two previous years. In those years, profit stood at €649,489 (2023) and €632,775 (2024) respectively. Stable growth was also evident in 2025 in terms of equity, which rose to €4.271 million. The company employs 165 people, and the DEHAG Hospitality Group is currently owned by 160 shareholders holding registered shares subject to transfer restrictions. The transfer of these shares is subject to the approval of the public limited company, which has contributed significantly to DEHAG’s corporate stability since its foundation in the mid-1970s.
Rise in room bookings, caution regarding conferences
“Revenue performance at DEHAG and its subsidiaries was very strong in 2025. Thanks to stable revenue growth in the hotel sector, all companies were able to build on the already strong performance of the previous year,” explains Marcus Smola, Chairman of the Executive Board of the DEHAG Hospitality Group and CEO of BWH Hotels Central Europe. “Fortunately, demand and booking volumes for the hotel sector remained positive in 2025 as well. Revenue remained stable and increased slightly across almost all segments.” Both occupancy rates and average room rates rose slightly, although the conference sector saw some signs of caution among corporate clients in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Alexander Kühnlein, Chief Financial Officer of the DEHAG Hospitality Group, continues to view the overall situation in the hospitality sector as challenging in terms of costs. “As in previous years, the industry is grappling with significant cost increases. In addition to rising staff costs, there are pressures from virtually all areas of procurement – from energy and the purchase of external services to higher capital expenditure and rising costs for consumables. In many cases, therefore, the profit situation is unsatisfactory. Rising costs are offsetting rising turnover and cannot be passed on to customers and guests to a sufficient extent.”
DEHAG’s collaborative structures demonstrate a high degree of resilience
According to Kühnlein, hotels and hotel chains are still facing significant financial pressures today, due to the depletion of existing reserves during the pandemic and the additional burden of repaying loans that had to be taken out as a result of the crisis. “In some cases, investments are also needed that have not been possible in recent years,” said the DEHAG financial expert.
Building on its long-standing industry expertise and organically focused corporate strategy, the DEHAG Hospitality Group itself continues to anticipate sustained growth in the future. “When the industry comes under pressure, the resilience of our range of services for hotels and hotel chains – which has grown and been consolidated over five decades – becomes evident, making a lasting contribution to the success of the hotels and hotel groups we support,” says Jochen Oehler, CMO of the DEHAG Hospitality Group and CEO of progros.
